case was commenced las: Tuesday. Tine
evidence was in and the argument fin
ished last Friday, and the jury retired
to deliberate. The first ballot stood ten for con-
viction to two for acquittal. The second ballot
showed no change and through score or more
ballots there was the same monotonous result,
OF ten to two. Yesterday morning, seeing nc
chance for an agreement. the jury asked to be
discharged, and their request was granted.
The States attorneys came in for good deal
OF sharp criticism for the slipshod way in which
they conducted their case. They scored their
first olunder when they allowed the defense to
slip IN cousin of the prisoner on the jury.
which rendered verdict for the State extreme
~ improbable from the start the cousin. OF
course being one OF the two who hung out for
an acquittal Of the ten for conviction, nine
were iE favor of assessing the death penalty.
A second trial will not improve Mock's chances
for acquittal. When he was led off to Jail, last
Friday, after his case had gone to the jury, he
told the bailiff that now that it was in the hands
of the jury, he would tell him 1.-THE bailiff) tina,
